If it was in the past, as soon as the prince Li Ying's words came out, he would definitely arouse the anger of the ministers.

Prince Li Ying is even mentally prepared at the moment.

However, what surprised him was this.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other.

No one contradicted him at the first time.

Many ministers subconsciously looked at Prime Minister Zhang in front of the crowd.

Zhang said that his eyes were slowly closed, and he looked like an old god was there.

The other ministers also kept their mouths shut, and did not mean to speak.

The reason is very simple, Su Che said before that the ministers can participate in the shares and get a share of the profits, which is very profitable.

As for the matter of opening the sea to do business, these officials who are extremely capable of being extremely powerful and in the center of power are not fools, and they all know how much interest there is.

If the imperial court is willing to take the lead and take these officials and the families behind them to open up overseas trade routes, then they will definitely be willing.

But.

At this moment, Han Xiu, the counselor, stepped forward directly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, open the sea to do business, compete with the people and foreign countries, and damage the prestige of our Heavenly Empire, and the minister thinks that this matter needs to be discussed." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crown prince Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that no one objected, and he had no chance to say what he was ready to say.

At this moment, Xuanzong Li Longji, who was above, sat on the dragon chair, supported his forehead with his hand, and did not speak, but let the prince and the doctor argue.

The crown prince Li Ying glanced at his father, and then at the counselor Han Xiu, and said seriously: "The counselor is not right, this is not to compete with the people for profit, and to compete with foreign countries for profit, the imperial court takes the initiative to open the sea, this is to make the shop bigger, and take the initiative to spread the majesty and reputation of my Tang Dynasty to the whole world at home and abroad." ”

After a pause, the crown prince Li Ying continued: "This is a pioneering move to inherit the ambition of Taizong, and it can determine the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, how can it be said that it is detrimental to the majesty?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the counselor was stunned for a moment, and was just about to speak.

I only heard the crown prince Li Ying continue: "I have a question to ask the doctor, in the past, when the official mountains and seas were not implemented, the people could mine mines and sell salt, and then these things were banned, is this competing with the people?" Do you want to give back the right to sell them? ”

Even in ancient times, salt was not so scarce, because it was a necessity, and the government controlled the sale of salt, making the industry directly profitable.

Salt sales have also become a very important part of the country's revenue.

In a sense, this is the competition with the people.

Hearing this, Han Xiu, the counselor, was speechless, he frowned and said: "Guanshan and Hai have existed since ancient times, this is the important weapon of the country, how can it be compared with the opening of the sea for business?" ”

The crown prince Li Ying directly asked: "How can the counsellor be sure that opening the sea to do business cannot become an important weapon of the country?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the counselor was completely speechless, so he could only salute and then retreat to his own position.

And Xuanzong Li Longji above couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw such a scene.

Li Longji is in a very good mood.

When Li Longji was still the crown prince, Han Xiu was promoted as virtuous because of his reputation, and served in the East Palace, where he intersected with Li Longji.

After Li Longji took the position, he naturally began to promote Han Xiu all the way.

But this Han Xiu obviously has a soft personality, but he is upright, looking at Wei Zheng everywhere, staring at Li Longji's advice.

This made Li Longji very depressed, and of course he was very happy to see him deflated at the moment.

Li Longji clapped his palms lightly, smiled and said: "The prince said it well, Guanshan and Hai can become an important weapon of the country, and it is not impossible to open the sea to do business!" This matter can still strengthen my Tang Tianwei, and it will be beneficial and harmless, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall responded in unison: "My emperor Shengming! ”

"Good!" Xuanzong nodded and glanced up and down the court.

Originally, Xuanzong was ready to swallow the money for opening the sea to do business......

But this kind of thing is unacceptable.

Su Che stopped him.

Su Che was very clear.

If you eat this kind of behavior alone, you will be jealous.

Zhu Di once opened the sea and used Zheng He to go to the West to make a lot of money.

But all this money basically went into Zhu Di's pockets.

So later, as soon as Zhu Di died, those nautical chart materials were directly burned clean by a fire, and there was no talk of going to the West.

As a result, some families along the coast, who opened the sea to do business, smuggled and sold, can be said to be so rich that they all went into their own pockets, and they no longer had the slightest relationship with the imperial court.

During the Ming Dynasty, the number of tributaries was not only particularly large, but also particularly frequent, forcing the Ming Dynasty to limit the number of tributaries and the frequency of tribute.

For example, the Jurchen Nurhachi personally went to Beijing eight times to pay tribute, and his younger brother Shulhaqi also went to Beijing four times to pay tribute.

Later, although Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, he was quite active and enthusiastic in paying tribute, all for the sake of profit.

The Silk Road, as well as the Silk Road at sea, can not make too many profits.

But if you want to eat all these benefits alone, it must not go far.

So.

At Su Che's suggestion, Xuanzong finally compromised and decided to take his ministers to play with the family clan behind them.

When I heard the emperor himself say that he wanted to open the sea for business, the emperor would take the lead, so that the clan, the nobles, and the important ministers of the court, those who have money to pay, and those who have people to pay people, everyone present are all boiling, and they all show eager eyes one by one.

Su Che had said this once before, but after all, it was his own words, and he couldn't count them, and at this moment, Emperor Chrysostom was the real final word.

Soon, as the discussion began, the hall instantly became as lively as a vegetable market.

Originally, when it came to doing business overseas, almost all the ministers in the court were opposed.

But as soon as he heard that the emperor was going to take them to play together, they had money to earn together, and they shared the money together, and their faces changed in an instant.

Even if he said sternly before, 'Is the old man a greedy man for money?' Prime Minister Zhang said that the money at the moment was the most, accounting for a large share.

Even Han Xiu, the counselor who spoke out against it, has money and people at the moment.

The princes of the imperial court, this is a group of people who stand at the peak of the power of the Tang Dynasty, when this group of people unite together and work together to make it together, the resources and strength that can be used are very terrifying.

In the matter of opening the sea to do business, Su Che only provided some superficial suggestions and some general ideas.

If he is specifically responsible for this matter, he needs to schedule various departments, and the affairs are complicated, and the progress will inevitably be delayed again and again.

But at this moment, under the gossip of these important ministers of the imperial court, the progress is almost visible to the naked eye.

The construction of ships, the preparation of sailors, the number of sailors, charts and compasses, and the various weapons of the sea, as well as the purchase of goods for trade, the interpretation along the route, the food and preparation of sailors and sailors, and the formulation of routes......

In addition to these, the relevant laws and regulations related to the opening of the sea for business, various detailed regulations, are also constantly being improved, and everyone will soon improve the regulations and laws.

Originally, although Su Che had an idea of these and knew how to prepare, he still had to take it step by step, and at this moment, all the princes of the imperial court went into battle, and these problems were solved by dividing five by two.

The progress is so fast and the efficiency is so high, even Emperor Xuanzong, who was sitting in a high position, showed a stunned look - when did his ministers become so powerful?

He suddenly understood why Li Taibai strongly suggested that he should take the princes of the imperial court to open the sea together and divide the benefits that he instinctively monopolized.

These important ministers of the court, although they are the courtiers of the Heavenly Family, are indeed loyal, but if Xuanzong monopolizes the interests of this open sea, he will inevitably be hindered.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!

Although Emperor Xuanzong had already seen through these ministers, he still didn't expect them to be so real......

If they eat alone and swallow the benefits of the sea, can these people still do their best as they do now?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

With the completion of the negotiation of the opening of the sea, Emperor Xuanzong handed over the matter to the crown prince Li Ying to preside over the matter, and let him take full responsibility.

However, it was said that it was handed over to the crown prince Li Ying, and the matter behind it was still handled by Su Che.

Therefore, when the crown prince Li Ying received the order, he subconsciously glanced at Su Che behind him, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

Previously.

Because Xuanzong favored Concubine Wu Hui, he gradually snubbed his son.

Concubine Wu Hui hopes that her son can become the crown prince, and she usually blows the wind in her ears.

This made the crown prince Li Ying feel the crisis.

Since ancient times.

The relationship between the crown prince and the emperor is rarely particularly good, and it is basically the same as fire and water.

The crown prince is the prince, the future emperor, and as long as it exists, it is easy to threaten the uniqueness of the emperor's power, which is unbearable for the emperor.

In addition, as the Son of Heaven grew old and the crown prince flourished, the emperor would develop feelings of jealousy.

A normal prince and prince can theoretically be the second-in-command, and it is natural for the second-in-command and the first-in-command to have contradictions, especially if the relationship lasts for a long time.

The emperor was prone to suspicion and thought that the crown prince wanted to rebel.

When an emperor is strong, long-lived, and has many sons, the crown prince is largely unstable.

Many princes, deep down, have a wish that they dare not say - that is, the emperor, can you die early? Hurry up and explode the jade seal!

The position of the prince belongs to the position of not doing well, and it is not good to do too well, which can be described as a dilemma.

The crown prince is a king in front of the minister and a minister in front of the emperor, and how to deal with the two identities determines the relationship between the prince and the emperor.

This is not something that the average person can handle.

Supreme power is poison, and most emperors will choose between the continuation of the empire and their own power, which will lead to the death of talented princes.

There is no shortage of sages around the crown prince Li Ying, and he also knows very well how embarrassing his situation is, walking on thin ice every day, for fear of making mistakes, but once he has too many scruples, in the eyes of the emperor, he will become a waste, which is even more uncomfortable.

However, with the appearance of Su Che, everything seems to have ushered in a turning point.

Su Che is very strong, what he asks him to do, then he must do it.

It's like a strict teacher who treats students, and he doesn't have the slightest scruples because he is the prince.

can be so strong, but it makes the prince Li Ying feel a lot more at ease, and subconsciously thinks that he only needs to listen to the words of the prince and the prince.

And doing so is often the best solution, which makes the crown prince Li Ying trust Su Che even more.

At this moment, many people in the court noticed the subconscious movements and gaze of the crown prince Li Ying, and suddenly knew in their hearts who would be responsible for opening the sea for business in the future.

Therefore, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Su Che immediately received a lot of banquets, and the attitude of the courtiers towards him instantly took a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.

Previously, he was almost the public enemy of the whole people, but now, in an instant, he became a celebrity above the court, even if it was that Zhang Zhang, he no longer showed Su Che's face, but talked to him with a pleasant face, pulled him to the banquet, and everyone got together.

Reality is often just that.

Su Che faced everyone's invitation, and he didn't pretend to be high, and accepted it happily.

At this time, the crown prince Li Ying also wanted to go to the banquet with him, trying to have a good relationship with this group of important court officials, Su Che just glanced at him and asked: "Today, the court said so much, have you written it all down?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crown prince Li Ying couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with some embarrassment: "I just remembered some......"

"Then I'm going to find someone, such as a Chinese scholar, to ask clearly, and then draw up a relevant plan, and prepare for the opening of the sea, these are not ready yet, what banquet are you going to attend?" Su Che said very politely, without giving the prince face at all.

Li Ying paused for a moment, then looked at Su Che and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'm going to drink." Su Che said as a matter of course.

Li Ying: "......"

He thought that the teacher was responsible for this matter and would handle it for him, but there was obviously a big gap between the matter and what he thought, and Su Che threw all the matter to him, and he had no intention of interfering at all.

"Okay...... Prince Li Ying nodded helplessly, and then looked for the figure of Zhongshu Shilang in the crowd.

Zhongshu Shilang is a subordinate official of Zhongshu Order.

Zhongshu Ling is the highest governor of Zhongshu Province.

The province was the decision-making body, responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edicts.

This position can be described as a high authority, and it is concurrently held by Prime Minister Zhang Shuo.

At this time, Zhang Shuo, the Chinese scholar behind him, hurriedly walked out and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have written down the content of the previous discussions in the court, word for word, and ask Your Highness to move and discuss the plan with me." ”

Hearing this, Li Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll trouble you!" ”

"That's as it should be!" Zhongshu Shilang said politely.

"After you finish it, show it to me first, and then show it to Your Majesty after I'm done." Su Che said casually.

"I see." Li Ying nodded.

"Come on, we're going to drink." Su Che waved his hand.

When Li Ying left, the eyes of several people next to her looked at Su Che a little strangely.

Because Su Che's attitude towards Li Ying is too casual, this is not like his attitude towards the prince at all, isn't he afraid that the future prince will ascend the throne and give him small shoes?

Although the emperor does not die for a day, the crown prince is the prince after all.

But the prince's identity is still noble, and few people dare to be so faceless.

Su Che turned his head and said with a smile, "Everyone, let's go!" Catch the wind and wash the dust for me! ”

"Let's go." Zhang Shuo touched his beard and said with a smile.

Following this group of important court ministers, Su Che came to Zhang Shuo's mansion.

It is an extremely luxurious mansion.

Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is encircled, the green willow hangs around, there are three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides.

The courtyard is connected with each other, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the plaque of "blazing and prospering" is hung on the five hugging buildings.

The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool.

In the whole house, whether it is tables, chairs, doors and windows, beds, etc., they are all covered with carvings.

The real wealth is vividly reflected in this detail.

Su Che looked at the mansion everywhere, then looked at Zhang Shuo, and said with emotion: "The mansion here is so luxurious, aren't you afraid that Doctor Yu Shi will impeach you?" ”

Zhang said with a smile and said, "Originally, I was still a little worried, but after you came out like this, I was not so worried." ”

This is a cunning old fox, very surprised and very surprised by Su Che's appearance.

Hearing this, Su Che was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

Zhang said that he was a leader in the literary world, and a figure like him, greedy for money and accepting bribes, did not affect anything at all.

Xuanzong would not deal with him at all because of this trivial matter, but would only use this as his handle and let him do his best.

To some extent, this is also a means of self-defilement.

In the huge banquet hall, several bewitching dancing girls, wearing light clothes, dragging long sleeves, dancing ethereal dances, musicians playing beautiful music seriously, and waiters pouring wine and accompanying wine, a happy scene.

Su Che drank wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the many important ministers of the court present, behind these people, more or less all of them were big families.

In the first few years of Xuanzong's accession to the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, and his method was to win over a group of family magnates and fight against another group of family magnates.

But this kind of behavior has also accelerated the growth of the big families, making many families become behemoths, which is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, and does not essentially solve the problem.

So within a few years, the problem will reappear.

But that was already the best solution that Tang Xuanzong could do.

The establishment of the Tang Dynasty was carried out with the support of the family gate valve.

Tang Taizong also did some so-called measures, and the effect was indeed there, but it was more to suppress the scholars other than the Guanlong clan, such as the Shandong clan next door.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, the Shandong Shi clan was used to suppress the Guan Long Shi clan, but the Shandong Shi clan finally became a new noble, family and gate valve. Xuanzong also suppressed it, but with little effect.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was basically to select talents from the upper strata of society, and its essence was a mechanism for selecting talents within the upper strata of society.

Just in the imperial examination, if the children of the poor family want to get ahead, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

In today's terms, the imperial examination is just a formality, and the quota for the children of the family has long been decided.

The so-called imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty claimed to have broken the monopoly of the family on the official career, but it only broke a hole in the original impregnable city wall, so that the middle and lower classes of society could flow to the upper class through this opening.

And after that, Huang Chao was completely desperate for the so-called imperial examination, and understood who controlled the society, so he slaughtered those gate valve families frantically, and there was part of this reason.

The so-called thousand-year-old family, for the dynasty itself, is a parasite-like existence, they constantly suck the flesh and blood of the dynasty, and they don't care about the collapse of the dynasty at all, because no matter who is in charge of the country, they need people to manage it.

They only care about their own wealth and interests, where can they care about the life and death of the country?

With such a group of insects, how can the country be governed well?

Su Che held his sword, slightly drunk, and the murderous intention in his heart was already visible.

But he still endured it, so what if he killed it?

Such a person cannot be killed at all.

killed the family of gate valves, as well as the scholar literati group, and the landlords and gentry......

Killing, you can't finish killing.

Therefore, the only thing that can be done is to transfer the internal contradictions to the outside as much as possible, and forcibly transfuse blood in the way of the inner and outer kings, so as to maintain a relatively peaceful world.

At this moment, everyone raised their glasses, they were happy, some people chanted poems, a happy scene, Zhang said and smiled: "Brother Taibai, do you want to have a poem?" ”

Su Che glanced at Zhang Shuo, then at the princes of the court, and said with a smile: "Okay!" ”

With a chuckle, Su Che pulled out the sword at his waist, and with a pop, the cold light of the sword flashed, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a little, and everyone saw this scene, and they all subconsciously shrank back.

Su Che waved his hand to get the dancing girl out of the way, and then danced casually.

The sword of murder danced, the sharp voice echoed in the air, and everyone who was originally slightly drunk couldn't help but sober up at the moment, and many people even subconsciously touched their necks.

This is a true murderous aura, and it is a killing intent that can only be accumulated after a long time on the battlefield and countless killings.

The guards who accompanied Zhang Shuo had their pupils shrunk at this moment, and the hairs on their bodies stood up!

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. ”

Su Che, who was slightly drunk, danced his sword and said casually.

The room was so quiet at the moment that even the musician couldn't help but stop.

Some of the maids who accompanied the wine were talking to the dignitaries and dignitaries in a whisper, but at this moment, when they saw the sword dance and heard the poems, they were all stunned, and looked at the young man who was dancing the sword blankly.

Zhang Shuo listened to these two poems, and couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously read them out: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming." The silver saddle shines on the white horse, sassy like a meteor......"

Simple and clear poems, at this moment, Zhang Shuo seemed to be able to see that picture - Zhao Guo's chivalrous hat was casually decorated with Hu Ying, Wu Hook's sword was as bright as frost and snow, and the silver saddle and white horse reflected each other, galloping like a meteor.

The poems are simple, yet catchy and immersive!

As soon as this poem came out, many people were dazzled.

Song Jing couldn't help but stroke his palms and listened carefully to the next game.

Su Che waved his sword dance again, the sword was sharp, almost as if he was about to choose someone to devour, he continued:

"Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”

As soon as this poem came out, Zhang Shuo, who was originally going to applaud, swallowed the word "good" at this moment, and he was a little afraid that this sword would really cut himself, so he didn't say anything for a while.

However, he did think too much, Su Che did not go on a killing spree, at the moment he took the wine jug, drank a few sips, and finished reading the second half of the poem.

"Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward.

will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan.

Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light.

After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born.

Save Zhao waving the golden mallet, HD was shocked first.

Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Liang City.

The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world.

Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical. ”

As Su Che finished reading this poem, everyone in the entire banquet building was speechless, and they were all shocked.

No one would have thought that a poem casually uttered by this young and ambitious young man could give people such a shock!

This poem is simply crazy, the sentences are wild, murderous, but crazy and convincing, this poem has this qualification!

It's so well written!

The princes of the imperial court are all well-informed, although most of them are family valves, but they can stand in this position, but they are not wine bags and rice bags.

It was the first time they had heard such a unique poem!

I was amazed for a while!

Su Che's previous two articles, whether it is "Rather with Friends, Not Domestic Slaves", or "The Wealth of Nations", are a major flaw in the text, so straightforward that there is no flowery rhetoric at all, and the style is very obvious.

So much so that people subconsciously feel that this person's writing skills are very ordinary.

But what they didn't expect was that Su Che danced his sword and blurted out a poem, which calmed everyone.

The uniqueness of this poem, this unprecedented wildness, where can a human being write it?

The dancing girls and the maids looked at the young man in front of them who casually put away his sword and continued to drink heavily, and their eyes were dumbfounded.

In the crowd, He Zhizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also a talented person, he is the champion of the Yiwei Branch in the first year of Wu Zetian's Sheng, awarded the four doctors of the country, Dr. Qian Taichang, and the prime minister Zhang said that he was the secretary of the Lizheng Palace, so he invited He Zhizhang to enter the academy and wrote the "Six Classics" and "Wen Compilation".

After hearing this poem at this moment, he stood up and asked with some excitement: "Such a poem, it is really not a mortal person who can write it, are you an immortal who was relegated to the mortal world in the sky?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

The previous "Rather with Friends, Not House Slaves" and "The Wealth of Nations" have profound insights, which extraordinary people can do, and this heroic poem at this moment is not something that ordinary people can write.

Isn't this Su Chemo really a god in the sky? The immortals who were relegated to the mortal world, isn't this the immortal?

Zhang Shuo heard this and muttered, "What an immortal! ”

"Are you really an immortal?" Song Jing asked blankly, he had completely believed this statement at the moment.

Just because there are really immortals in this world, the seven immortal mountains stand on the mountains outside the mountain, and the immortals and emperors are high up, watching everything in the world, they rarely interfere in everything in the world, but they do exist, this is an undeniable fact.

This Li Taibai is so young, he can write articles like "Rather with Friends, Not House Slaves" and "The Wealth of Nations", and can write such heroic poems, what can he be if he is not an immortal?

"Immortals?" Hearing this, Su Che was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said unruly: "Below, the Qinglian monk is an immortal!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes looked at each other, and they were all a little dumbfounded, is this an admission?

He Zhizhang opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask the immortals, what is the name of this poem?" ”

"Chivalrous Walk." Su Che said with a smile, this poem was written by Li Taibai, so he copied it without any psychological burden, and copied it himself, can this be considered plagiarism?

"Chivalrous travel......" He Zhizhang muttered, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a chivalrous travel!" ”

"To be able to write poems like chivalrous travel, those who dare to cooperate with the opening of the sea to do business are probably going to be unlucky......" Song Jing couldn't help but whisper softly when he heard this.

When this banquet is over, about Li Taibai's "Chivalrous Journey", for a time it went viral to the entire Chang'an capital, this poem is very heroic, as long as you have read this poem, you will be shocked fiercely, and you will be deeply impressed.

This poem and other poems are not the same style at all.

Soon, this poem not only spread in Chang'an, but even spread to the whole world.

followed by the viral rumor, there is another nickname of Li Taibai - the immortal in the world!

Legend has it that he was not mortal......

Rather, they were relegated from heaven to mortal immortals.

This title is very apt and a very reasonable explanation.

Soon, even Xuanzong heard the name and saw the heroic chivalrous journey.

Even Li Longji had to admit: "This poem is really amazing, it's the first time I've seen such a poem, it turns out that the poem can still be written like this!" ”

……

"Are you really an immortal?" The crown prince Li Ying looked at Su Che curiously.

Su Che looked at the plan in his hand seriously, and said without raising his head: "You can be me." ”

"Okay." Li Ying nodded: "How is my plan completed?" ”

"Not bad." Su Che gave a fairly fair evaluation: "The plan is written, and the next step is to execute it." ”

"If the imperial court wants to open the sea for business, there will definitely be those who are unwilling to cooperate, you let people get ready, ready to kill." Su Che said casually.

"This opening of the sea for business is a joint decision of the princes of the imperial court, how can anyone dare not cooperate?" Li Ying said with some surprise when she heard this.

"You have to understand a truth, wealth is moving, and if the benefits are enough, the merchants will even sell ropes to strangle themselves...... Su Che said lightly.

"As long as the profits are sufficient, the merchants will even sell the rope ...... to strangle themselves" These words directly shocked Li Ying, and he muttered: "There are such crazy people in this world? ”

Subsequently, Li Ying nervously conveyed the plan, as well as Su Che's words, to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong looked at these plans, listened to Li Ying's words, and said undeniably: "He is right, you should be ready." ”

"Got it." Li Ying lowered her head.

Sure enough, as the imperial court opened the sea to do business, some wealthy merchants in China soon joined forces with some foreigners, and even some Hu merchants to protest together.

They accused the Tang Dynasty of competing for jobs with the common people, and this kind of behavior of competing with the people and foreign countries for profits is really unacceptable.

In Chang'an City, inside and outside Xishi, merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions held together, and they had only one purpose, that is, to ask the court of the Tang Dynasty not to open the sea to do business, and not to compete with them for profit.

They knew that if only a few people protested, the Tang Dynasty would never care, so almost all foreign merchants took the initiative to unite and carry out various protests.

They walked out of the various lanes of the West Market, united together, and walked out of the West Market.

"The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, how can we compete for jobs with us barbarians? Is this the etiquette that Datang should have? ”

"The dignified Heavenly Empire is competing with us barbarians, this is simply undeserved!"

"Datang can't do this, it will make Datang's reputation overseas very bad!"

"The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the head of all nations, how can we end up doing business with barbarian merchants like us?"

"We need to see the Tang Emperor, we need to meet the Tang Emperor!"

The merchants marched in unison, shouting in unison, and they looked very angry.

Previously, after they heard about it, they tried to bribe the officials they had bribed and asked them to come forward to help solve it.

However, the matter of opening overseas business was a decision made by the emperor and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty together, and the officials they had bribed could not help them at all.

There is no way to solve the problem through this channel, and their only option is to stay together.

Now.

There were people from the yamen who maintained order and tried to get them to return to their own fangs, so that they would not continue to make trouble like this.

But this group of gentiles pretended not to understand, and pushed and shoved the officials without any scruples, not taking these ordinary officials and soldiers in their eyes at all.

Their identities are placed here, and those soldiers and servants don't dare to do it.

As things got bigger, the court mobilized more people to stop the protesting group of foreign merchants.

"Go back!"

"Give me all back!"

"No more protests!"

"This is the decision of the imperial court to open the sea for business, and it is useless for you to protest!"

However, when they saw that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not ready to solve the problem, but wanted to suppress them, they shouted in unison: "We want to see the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"We want to talk to the Tang Emperor!"

Their problems are not solved, it is impossible to retreat!

Soon.

With the shoving, the conflict soon broke out.

Some excited foreign merchants, taking advantage of the strength of the crowd, directly killed several officials and soldiers.

After killing someone, these foreign merchants also calmed down at once, realized that they had made a big mistake, and dispersed like fish and birds in an instant.

By the time more soldiers arrived, there was no one in sight of these foreign merchants.

A young lieutenant, looking at the corpses of the servants and soldiers, his face was very ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare these damn foreign barbarians? ”

It was the officials who died, and there were soldiers, these people were from the bottom, even if they died, these foreign businessmen still thought that the law would not be responsible, they were many and implicated, so what could they do?

But a dead person, after all, a dead person.

Something big is wrong.

There are too many foreign businessmen involved in this matter, whether it is the crown prince Li Ying or the people of Honglu Temple, their scalps are numb, and they don't know how to deal with it at all.

There are too many people involved, do you want to arrest all those foreign merchants and those Hu merchants? How much of a storm does this have to cause?

The crown prince Li Ying found Su Che and sought Su Che's help.

This made Su Che a little strange, and he asked: "If it is a wealthy merchant in China who kills the soldiers at the gate of Chang'an City, what should I do?" ”

"First arrested, then interrogated and convicted, and finally killed." The crown prince Li Ying said without thinking: "If you can't find out who killed it, everyone will be convicted!" ”

"Then why do you hesitate when you come to these foreign merchants?" Su Che asked a little strangely.

As soon as these words came out, the crown prince Li Ying was suddenly speechless, and he said helplessly: "Because this matter implicates friendly countries, it is easy to damage the prestige of Datang overseas." ”

"So, even if the overseas rich businessmen kill my officials and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you can let them go?" Su Che asked rhetorically.

"Naturally this is not the case, this problem is very serious, it is a big matter, and it is absolutely impossible to compromise easily, so I also have a headache, how to solve it." Li Ying shook her head and said.

"So...... Wouldn't it be okay to just follow the set of rich domestic businessmen? Su Che shook his head and said with a sigh.

"It's going to cause shocks overseas!" Li Ying's scalp was numb and said: "If it is a rich domestic businessman, this is very easy to solve, but this implicates foreign businessmen, this is an international case, if you do that, it may affect the opening of the sea to do business...... Master, can you understand? ”

"I've always understood that." Su Che stared at Li Ying and said lightly: "The person who has never understood is you, not me." ”

"I said at the beginning, foreign merchants who dare to make trouble, just kill them."

"As long as you make an example of the chickens, it is easy to deter this group of foreign merchants."

"But you don't dare to kill, you don't dare to deal with it with thunder, let them make trouble."

"Now that there is such a big thing, I am even more timid, and I don't know what to do......"

"It's always been easy, it's just that you don't dare to do it."

"You've been looking ahead and backward, timid and afraid, and you really don't have the spirit of a king at all."

"It's really a pity that the house slave died, and the friendship of the gentiles is the most important?"

Hearing Su Che's words, the crown prince Li Ying's face suddenly flushed with shame, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know!" ”

"Nope." Su Che said lightly: "You don't know, you don't understand." ”

"There is no real friendship between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

"Truth is always within the reach of a crossbow arrow!"

"Overseas barbarians are all afraid of power but not morality, and using interests to envelop them is just a temporary measure, and they have never been our friends."

"What can happen if all the overseas businessmen who dare to make trouble are killed? How dare they? ”

"Since they are tributary, then they are our nominal vassal states, and if the father beats his son, do you still need to worry about his son's opinion?"

"If those barbarians overseas dare to have opinions, break off friendship, and prevent Datang from opening the sea to do business......"

"Then launch the heavenly army and conquer the country that is not subordinate!"
